I did exactly the same things as you described in "Running Windows
applications on FreeBSD". I mounted Windows partition and started
application (really very simple applications like notepad and calc) with
command "wine -winver win98" with or without "-managed" option. Also I
have to say that I don't compile Wine from source, I installed it from Wine
package from ftp.freebsd.org server.

It is normal that wineserver takes 99% of CPU when I run something with
wine? Probably this is a problem with performance.

There is additional information about my system: Video RIVA TNT2 32M. I
read some information about xdrv section in .wine/config, but don't thik
that there problem is in this section.

Well, I'll try again to play with Wine, may be I'll make it run Windows
applications more faster than it does now on my system.

Also I'll try to set different arguments for the -winver option.
